Bombardier’s new jet receives little interest from Asian buyers
At the recent Singapore air show in February, Bombardier showed up with 2 business jets, a turboprop and its brand new C Series airliners, which the company is desperately trying to sell. But despite record orders for other aircraft makers from fast-growing airlines in Asia, there has so far been no interest from Asian buyers in Bombardier’s sleek new jet. At the Singapore air show, the only real bit of good news for Bombardier came from back home, where Air Canada said it could buy up to 75 C Series jets. The past decade has seen huge growth in Asian air travel, with a lot of the recent surge coming from discount airlines. But because a key operating principle of LCCs is to use mainly one model of aircraft, much of this growth has only really benefited Boeing and Airbus. <br/>
